From The Sun
From The Sun
Written by Matthew Spence
With you I feel the warmth of a summers day,That leap of the heart when I awake
To feel your glow reflected, with many years
Now perfected,
Through my window.
The surrounding buildings, once dull,
Become beauties definition so strong and the songs
of the birds in the tree, cleanse my mind of the truth
that we live in the city.
Though even before I felt no self pity, as
The dirt in the street becomes gold to my feet,
And the smoke from the factories around my flat
Is nothing, not harmful, and that’s a fact. For
You challenge my perception of time and space,
With possibilities endless, forever.
To bright to not notice,
But too much so, to look close.
I want to see this, I want to be there compare
The glow from down here to the glow up there.
“No chance, your crazy!
You’ll melt when you arrive!”
This isn’t a bad thing,
But it seems they were right.
